Break-Away Farm

Break-Away Farm is a Hackney horse breeder in Greenville, South Carolina, in the Upstate region near Spartanburg. Mary Lou Carrick has nurtured Hackney horses for over a decade, following recognized breed registry programs and arranging routine health screenings to maintain sound bloodlines. Each youngster is raised with daily turnout and early handling to promote socialization and a balanced disposition from the start.

The farm’s stables combine traditional stall designs with spacious paddocks that encourage natural movement and grazing. Break-Away Farm’s approach respects classic breeding standards while adapting to individual animals, and the property’s layered pastures reflect a commitment to sustainable land management. Visitors often remark on the horses’ steady manners and the farm’s genuine sense of hospitality. The century-old barn on the property roots the operation in regional equestrian tradition, adding character to daily work. Detailed care records are kept for every foal, offering insights into growth milestones and temperament development.
